Together With Duets On Air And In The Studio

Description

This album is a superb collection of Frank and friends from a part of Frank's career that has long been underestimated. Here, Sinatra scales the summit of jazz with Louis Armstrong on "Birth Of The Blues" and delivers three electrifying collaborations with one of his favorites, Ella Fitzgerald. Ella's voice is at its best in each of them. His rival Elvis Presley earns the President's respect on a wonderfully playful medley of "Witchcraft" and "Love Me Tender." The tunes are brilliant and lively, and many benefit from the arranging genius of Nelson Riddle. Frank and Dean are great, improvising and playing off each other as always. But wait until you hear "Together," in which Bing joins Dino and Frank for a joyful and hilarious trio.
